Hello Albert,

I've seen this shield as well and followed the auction. A friend told me that the seller (from Germany) is a little bit dubious, he should has sold for example toli-toli as antique/old which have been self made and recent. I really hope that you will find when you have it in your hands that it is original. I cross my fingers!

Best regards,
Detlef

Hello ALbert,

For the sake of discussion.
The stars. All stars on peurises I have seen where casted.
These look like sheet metal, cut / sawn / the edges bended backwards.

Are there any old examples with such stars in, for example, the collection of Leiden RMV ?

Best regards,
Willem
